Helping a child discover their confidence is one of the greatest lessons a caring adult can give. Beyond big smiles, healthy self-esteem also fuels a little one’s social and emotional development. Kids who feel good about themselves often do better in school, feel more comfortable building relationships, and are more willing to try new things. So every time we can remind a child just how incredible they are, it can have wonderful and lasting effects.
Our ThoughtFulls for Kids pop-open cards are filled with creative ways to support a child’s sense of self-worth. Inside each box are 30 cards with hidden messages tucked behind a pop-open window. Opening one is like joyfully breaking a fortune cookie and finding words waiting just for you! With sweet and playful sentiments like “You’re as dazzling as a shooting star,” “You’re a rooting-tooting, walking-talking wonder,” and “You’re more brilliant than a million fireflies,” these cards hold heartwarming opportunities to support a child every step of the way.
